SwiftHow to Use Default Parameters
Provide sensible defaults to keep call sites clean.
Steps
- Paste the code into a Swift file or playground.
- Run it once to verify the output.
- Adjust the inputs to match your use case.
Copy and paste
import Foundation
func greet(name: String, punctuation: String = "!") {
print("Hello, (name)(punctuation)")
}
greet(name: "Ava")
greet(name: "Liam", punctuation: "!!!")Notes
- Keep functions small and focused for reuse.
- Prefer safe APIs like optionals and guards.
